The St. Aidan

The design involved the historic conversion of St. Aidan’s Church, the former John F. Kennedy Baptismal, into nine market-rate condominiums, and the master planning and redevelopment of adjacent land into a mixed-income residential community. This smart-growth development includes the construction of three new buildings on the site comprised of rental, first-time homebuyer and market rate units. Recognizing a significant cultural icon in the neighborhood, the firm, in collaboration with Antonio DiMambro + Associates, organized its thoughtful plan around the church, using it to form a courtyard bordered by the new buildings.
